Description

Hardown House is an imposing, detached country residence, set in a stunning elevated rural position, in the village of Morcombelake, with panoramic rural and sea views towards Golden Cap. The property is set in half an acre of south facing grounds, which have been well landscaped with an abundance of mature trees, flowers and beautiful rhododendron bushes.

Morcombelake is a popular village, situated 4 miles west of Bridport, and 5 miles from Lyme Regis, and is the home of the original Moores biscuit bakery, makers of the famous Dorset Knob. The village has a post office/shop, and the friendly Felicities farm shop. The village is in an admirable location nestling amidst the rolling West Dorset hills, and within easy reach of the World Heritage Jurassic coast.

Bridport is a busy market town, with an eclectic mix of events and cultural activities taking place throughout the year. It has a vibrant art and foodie scene; there are various weekly and monthly markets, lots of excellent restaurants and artesian cafes, as well as regular open studio and arts events. Surrounded by some very famous hills, there are endless walking opportunities, as well as riding and cycle trails. A short drive from Bridport is the pretty harbour town of West Bay, with its stunning cliffs, made famous by the recent ‘Broadchurch’ TV series.

The accommodation is well laid out across two floors and comprises, entrance hall, snug, living room with real fire and triple aspect views across Lyme Bay, dining room/kitchen, large boot room, utility room and cloakroom. The present owners have lovingly extended the property, to include a fabulous glass fronted garden room. Sliding glass doors open to a terrace with seating for 8, from which to enjoy the breath-taking views. On the first floor is the large master bedroom, with twin aspect views, dressing room and an ensuite bathroom, a twin room, a double with ensuite bathroom, and a king-size room, as well as a further family bathroom.

Reviews

We have stayed in many self catering cottages over the years and I have to say this was by far the best. It was like being at home and clearly a lot of love has been given to the house in both design and furnishings and it was a privilege to be able to share it.
